Poured from a can into a belcher glass
Poured a transparent dark amber brown with a dense pale off white head that settles into a thin cover leaving some light tacky lacing.
Pardon my stuffy nose. Aroma is dark bread, earthy grassy hops and caramel malt.
Flavor follows with a nice melding of malts, the dark breads and caramel sweetness mesh leading into earthy grassy hops and a subtle roast that works well with the lightly bitter finish
Light body with the carbonation leading to a smooth experience.
Overall an excellent dark lager I would come back too almost any time of the year. Refreshing and easy drinking enough for warmer weather while the roast and bread malts make it hearty enough for the colder seasons too.

Can from CBC Liquors, Westford. Lightly hazy pale yellow, tons of sparkle, ephemeral thin head, no lacing. Aroma is moderately strong pale malts. Taste is strong malt, hint of fruit (corn?). Smooth, somewhat watery texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Good strength for a light lager.

Drank last night as a night cap. Probably should’ve saved though strong stuff. Deep amber pour and frothy head. Nose is rich caramel, dark fruit and barrel. Tastes of caramel, molasses, fig, dates, wood barrel, little spicy rye. Smoothbpalate. Boozy alcohol finish. Loved it

Consumed directly from the can at TD Garden, Boston, MA. Flavor has mild cracker malt, mild hay, weak yeast. Light body. Crisp texture that
ends dry. Decent enough to drink at a major sporting event.

16 oz can. Aroma of caramel malt and soft mineral. Flavor of toasted bread, soft earth, light spice. Balanced with a soft Noble hop. Quite crisp. With some lingering toasted grain. Nice mineral element with absolutely no lingering sweetness. Very enjoyable lager.

Pours clear gold into a willi. White head with little retention crackles as it recedes to hug rim. Caramel and sourdough aromas. Spritzy with sweet bubblegum and banana front to back. Medium length banana finish. Weird.

Draft at brewery. Golden yellow beer with sudsy white top. Nose is malty and bready. Tastes full bodied and bready. Hint of floral and candy. Bock like. No spicing as I thought for Christmas brew.
